The full force of Cyclone Gabrielle is making itself known in the Coromandel and East Waikato, causing extremely dangerous driving conditions due to slips, flooding, storm surges and debris on the roads.
High winds, possible short-notice state highway closures, flooding and fallen debris should be expected when travelling around both Hawke’s Bay and Gisborne regions.
With the Coromandel once again bracing for bad weather due to Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency will closely monitor the slip site on State Highway 25A (SH25A) for further damage.
Regular users of SH54 Cheltenham-Hunterville Road, and holidaymakers heading north to Putai Ngahere Domain (Vinegar Hill) this summer should be aware of upcoming road closures.

Restoring road access on State Highway 23 (SH23) between Whatawhata and Raglan is urgently underway. This crucial link between Raglan and Hamilton was fully closed on Wednesday last week, following a serious slip on the section known as the Raglan Deviation.
The rain event over the past week has had a significant impact on accessibility across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region, particular over Anniversary weekend.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has begun the work needed to get a clear picture of the full extent of the slip damage to State Highway 25A (SH25A) in the Coromandel, the first step in planning a solution to restore this vital transport link for the region.
Waka Kotahi is urging everyone using roads in affected areas to adjust their driving to the conditions, which means slowing down, increasing following distances, switching headlights on and watching for flooding and other debris on the road.
